GOING: H(8)

PFD BUTCHERY BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1800m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.88)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Khant Quit heading them off. ROSSO LEVANTO (6) couldn't have been more impressive shedding the maiden tag last time out by a whopping seven lengths and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Gets Maloney on board from the low draw and looks certain to measure up again. KENSHIN MARU (7) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and rates a genuine top-three prospect on best form. BOLD HUSSAR (4) has been just out of the money in recent runs including last time out when sixth over 1600m at this track three weeks ago. Great chance to go a couple better. AUTUNNO (3) worth forgiving the disappointing run on resuming. Fitter and a place hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rosso Levanto to salute again.
